From the standpoint of cybersecurity governance, how does an organization stay on the right side of the law? Rois Ni Thuama, Ph.D. (Doctor of Law), Head of Cyber Governance, Red Sift, spoke with great clarity and eloquence in explaining what it means to practice good and sensible cyber governance. She emphasized the importance of looking to expert sources and established security frameworks for guidance, addressing foreseeable and avoidable threats, and making cybersecurity investments that would be deemed (by the courts) proportionate and affordable. Highlighting the importance of strong governance, Rois said, "it is never the widget that’s the problem, it is always weak leadership, weak governance, lack of accountability, lack of responsibility, these are the big issues that need to be addressed.” She also encouraged a regular legal review of cybersecurity practices, based on the assumption that “you have to defend your decision-making in a court of law.”
